Identifying bailer

[1eyedjack]

This seems such a small point that I will probably be ridiculed for requesting it, but it has happened to me sufficiently often that I take the plunge.

 

Situation: A player leaves the table in mid hand without having previously sent any chat (at least not in your presence). There is also no hand history in movie (it may be the first hand of the table or the host, has reset the score, or the "offender" joined in mid hand so any movie history records the ID of the previous player).

 

In these circumstances you have no record of the ID of the individual who left.

 

It would be nice to be able to identify the ID of the individual concerned, for whatever reason (he may not have committed any "offence"). Given the will, the software could achieve this by leaving his name at the seat but colour-code the background, say yellow, to indicate that the seat is vacant, is not reserved, but was last occupied by the named ID shown in the foreground font.

Have thought of a better solution that would have more general value.

 

When someone leaves the table there should be an automated message sent to the table. This already happens where a player is automatically ejected to take part in a tournament, or has lost connectivity, but the use of this facility could be extended to additional circumstances, such as:

 

"Automated message: Player (ID ...) sitting North has been ejected by the table host"

 

"Automated message: Player (ID ...) sitting North has ejected himself from the table".

"Automated message: Player (ID ...) sitting North has been ejected by the table host"

 

"Automated message: Player (ID ...) sitting North has ejected himself from the table".

seconded; prefer 'removed' to 'ejected' :)
